LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

Issued at 143 AM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026

Monday night through Friday Assessment...high (>80%) confidence of a cool down

A cool front will move through the area Monday night and bring temperatures more in line with normals for mid-October. Compared to the weekend, it will feel chilly.

Rain chances will slowly increase the second half of the work week as a tropical connection with the Gulf becomes established and a system moves out of the Rockies. The timing of this system is still in question but the model consensus is suggesting Wednesday night into Thursday with the highest rain chances.

A more substantial cold front is progged to move through the area Friday night which will usher in below normal temperatures for next weekend.
